Short Scary Stories

Here are some stories I found on the internet...

1. The Little Girl On The Tricycle

I was driving home from work one night when I see a little girl on a tricycle riding across the street and into some woods that drop off into a creek. I brake and skid to avoid her and walk to where I thought she fell.

I see no one and a cop pulls up to ask me what I am doing. I tell him he was the person I needed (I was still in my security uniform) and tell him that I saw a little girl riding her tricycle across the street heading into that area where it dropped off.

He then tells me right away that I see what some other drivers here see. It was more than 40 years ago a child was killed riding her tricycle across that section of road. Others have seen her multiple times. Sometimes walking other times on her tricycle.

After some construction brought change to that section of road with expansions and barriers the sightings all ceased.

2. Two Large Knocks

When I was young I used to stay at my grandparents house, they had a walk-in attic which I was absolutely petrified of ... and of course I had to sleep in the room just past the walk-in attic. The house was out in the countryside, it was so quiet you could always hear if anyone else was still up.

I used to have real trouble getting to sleep and would often wake up in the middle of the night afraid to move so I would just lie still. Anyway one night about 3:00-4:00 A.M. I woke up and I was feeling brave, I was going to get over this stupid fear of the dark... so I whispered under my breath "If anything is there please tell me" almost instantly there was two large knocks on my bedroom door. I never asked again.

3. No One Wants To Live Upstairs

This happened when I stopped by a friend's house for dinner. They lived in a 3-story house, but their landlord rented out the third floor. I had to use the bathroom upstairs because the downstairs one was being used, and while I was in there I heard footsteps upstairs. It sounded more like a little kid running. I shrugged it off and figured it was just the upstairs neighbors.

After dinner I asked about them, (if they have kids, how long have they lived there, etc.) and she looked at me kinda weird and said they haven't had neighbors upstairs for a really long time. So I kinda freaked out and told her I heard something running and she was like, "Oh yeah, our house is haunted. The previous guy that lived here hung himself in the backyard and killed his family on the third floor. Now no one wants to live upstairs."

4. The Truck Stop

This is an experience my sister, her husband, and I had about 20 years ago. We were driving back to her house one night, going just past a truck stop when an old man stepped out in front of us. Her husband who was driving slammed on the brakes, and we all started freaking out because the old man had disappeared. My sister and her husband jump out, thinking they'd just killed the man, but there's nothing there. Cop comes along and a few truckers wander over and tell us that it's an almost weekly occurrence.

Apparently there'd been an old man who'd lived and later died in the house across the road who used to go over to check his chickens every night before bed. (The chicken coop had been torn down years before when they'd built the truck stop.) When they tore down the house a few years after that to make way for a heavy equipment dealership, the sightings stopped.
